Answer

  • Two types of failovers can occur
    • CFO (cluster failover): This is a failover of the root aggregate.
    • SFO (storage failover): This is a failover of the data aggregates.
  • If a node is in a partial giveback state, it means that the root aggregate has been given back, but the giveback of one or more SFO (Data) aggregates is pending or failed.
  • Running the storage failover show command, an output similar to the following is displayed:

::> storage failover show
                                Takeover
Node             Partner        Possible State Description
--------------   -------------- -------- -------------------------------------
Node-1           Node-2         true     Connected to Node-2.
Node-2           Node-1         true     Connected to Node-1,Partial giveback

  • However, the output of the cluster show the command will display no issues:

::> cluster show
Node                 Health  Eligibility   Epsilon
-------------------- ------- ------------  ------------
node-01              true    true          false
node-02              true    true          false
2 entries were displayed.

  • Data services remain intact from the partner node.
